Title: Improvements in Rotary Engines.
Inventor: MOTSINGER NEWELL HANSBERRY
Filed: 1910-05-24
Granted: 1911-05-24
Abstract: 12,622. Motsinger, N. H. May 24. Movable-abutment type; valve-gear; packing drums &c.-A pair of pistons, each having a single longitudinal vane, are disposed on opposite sides of a grooved rotary abutment, with which they co-operate alternately. The three parts are geared together by pinions 43 running in an oil-bath. Steam is admitted to one of the chambers 12, and exhausted through ports 18 at the opposite end, as determined by a rotary and normally stationary reversing-valve 23. The steam ports from the chambers 12 are opened and closed by disk valves 15 on the abutment shaft. Special rotary cut-off and governing valves are provided on one end of the reversing-valve. The cut-off valve 29 is rotated uniformly by pinion gear 30, 31. The governing-valve 28 rotates with the cut-off valve, but is capable of motion relative to it as determined by the governor gear. The revolving masses of the latter are carried by arms 34, Fig. 8. The weights swing out in opposition to a spring 36, Fig. 8, and an adjustable spring 37, Fig. 2, and pinions 35 on the arms 34 rotate the wheel 32 and the governing-valve relatively to the pinion 30 and the cut-off valve. The piston-shafts are mounted in bearings having split liners 60, Fig. 7. The parts 60 are pressed towards the central abutment by a spring 61. Thus, wear is taken up, and the three rotary elements are kept in contact. The ends of the peripheries of the rotary elements are provided with annular and longitudinal packing-pieces. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 2281/73, 1545/83, 8578/87, 12,917/93, and 9306/02.
